I lost no sleep (of what little I was getting anyway) over wonder if people thought I was a jerk.

Good advice even without kids.

Have you seen most of my posts?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

By the way, does anyone know if you really need to use a turn signal in a lane where there is no other option but to turn?

Other than safety and common decency I cannot think of any reasons.

At this intersection, there is no cross traffic. I can only turn right, joining the flow of traffic. The lane is clearly marked as right turn only, so anyone behind me is also turning right. I can't see any way using a signal accomplishes anything in this situation, other than not giving a cop an excuse to pull me over.

Mexican Breakfast and morning drinking - Fonda La Catrina (in Georgetown)

5905 Airport Way S

Seattle, WA 98108

NFL Viewing and day drinking - Box House Saloon (Pioneer Square)

124 S Washington St

Seattle, WA 98104

The Mexican breakfast is just a suggestion. Fonda la Catrina opens at 10:00AM. If anybody wants to meet up for Huevos Rancheros and drinks, say so. Otherwise we should probably just fast forward to the Box House Saloon at ...(11AM?, noon?).

Roll call...express an opinion.

I am in. And I would love to eat Mexican food first.

Same here. Funny thing is that the last ticket I got (at least 20 years ago) was for rolling through a stop sign...while leaving a parking lot, on to an access road, on a college campus.

In the last 6-7 years she has rear ended some person she works with, rear ended a freaking city bus, and got at least one speeding ticket.

Not using my turn signal led to rear ending a French chick

 

[Limp Ditka]

GM - a high dad is a happy dad.

I traded my Civil War (Ducks vs Beavers) tickets for an ounce of the greatest kind bud produced in this fertile land....I just have very little time to enjoy it. There was a crappy 90s band called The Verve that I liked for about a minute and they had a song with a lyric that said something like "Now the drugs don't work, they just make you worse, something something whiney Brit voice". Kind of the way it is now. I inhale and just stress myself out even worse.

Blah blah blah. I feel better talking about it. Thank you. Now somebody crap their pants or make love to somebody they shouldn't.

Right on queue.....

Went out with French chick last night. On the way to take her to her car, I got pulled over for not using my turn signal in a lane where you have to turn right. Two cars pulled me over with lights flashing. Cop checked my license and registration, asked if I'd been drinking, and sent me on my way. Whole thing was odd.

After that, she decided that it would be better to just spend the night at my house instead of both of us driving more.

Yada yada yada... Thanks for the assist, officer.

Glad fish stepped in because I was working pretty hard on crappin' my pants

Had a pretty miserable existence this year with stress levels so high I sort of expect a stroke or heart attack to topple me. Last night I volunteered to oversee 16 teams of micro soccer (boys 5-6) as a coaching aid to assist many of the first time coaches who had no idea what to do with a team full of kindergartners. It was mayhem from the start trying to assign everybody enough space on the field, direct frantic parents to the right coach, help out coaches who had the deer in the headlight look and keep organized chaos from erupting. I volunteered for this largely because I'm on the board and they asked for help, but also because I am desperate to find excuses to be out of the house. In an ideal world, I would be watching the opening game of the NFL season with a large beer on my new giant TV in my refinished basement/media room. But this #### ain't ideal at all. It's a house full of unhappiness. As bad as I thought it was going to be with twins, it is much worse. So bad, in fact, that I look at my job in a turbulent stock market where I've lost my largest two partners this past month as a vacation when in fact, it's panic inducing currently. My wife is a sleep deprived mess. When I come home, I immediately take one of the fussy twins into the ultra femme Baby Bjorn and pace around like an elephant until I calm him down. Then I pass him off or lay him down and grab the other fussy twin. When I'm not doing that, I'm either helping with dinner or doing the dishes. I also need to make myself available for my needy 3 year old daughter who equal parts princess and satan. Then there's my older sons who - god bless them - are cognizant of the situation and help out where and when they can, but I just don't have the bandwidth to interact with them the way I used to and love to (outside of coaching their soccer team, which I'll give up when I'm dead). And that sucks because they are in middle school now and that time period of my life was almost as bad as what I'm muddling through now. Soon enough, my MIL - who has been a saint and a tremendous help - will need to go back home and it will only get worse. The things my wife and I promised each other we wouldn't do we're doing now - keeping score over who does what in this house. And we can't even really talk about it because either her mom or a child is omnipresent. I've given away all my Ducks tickets this year in an effort to show I'm serious about helping out on weekends, but it like everything else I feel like I do to help goes unnoticed. Which is understandable considering how much of a toll this has taken on my wife. Part of being a dad is making giant sacrifices and being okay without appreciation. I'm sure my wife could write the same exact thing. It just sucks so bad right now and I want to hit the fast forward button on a remote and get to the part where the infants are settled and calm and happy and not waking up furious at the world and making noises that make me want to jump out of a window. All that bull#### about "Cherish these moments, they go by so fast!"....#### that noise. Give me some pleasant 7 year olds now and you can keep the cute little ####### infant angel crap. I know, I know...point to the shirt. My bad. On me. I know it will get better. I need to work on some internal behaviors to make it less stressful. This is venting and it helps to get it off my chest. I don't get the luxury of spending time with friends anymore to talk to them about my life, so this is really all I've got for an outlet right now. My parents are in Europe, my sister has the attention span Super Happy Fun Ball and my wife is and has been my most trusted companion for support has no interest in tales of woe because her tales are much much woer.

Spoiler

That is all.

Sorry GB. I doubt you held any illusions about what the TWINS! experience would be like, but that sounds worse than what you reasonably could have expected. One baby with colic blows; I can't imagine what it is like to have two.

I don't know what I could do, but if there is ever anything (that doesn't involve me actually adopting a baby <- DO. NOT. WANT.), feel free to give me a call.

Hello, exactly.

Last time I got pulled over was about 5 years ago. Somebody *coughwifecough* didn't put the new tags on the car like she was supposed to. Cop pulls me over.

Went pretty much like this:

Cop: Sir, the tags on your plate are expired. But I ran your registration and it comes back as "paid". Do you have the stickers?

Me: I know we got them. I'm guessing they're in my wife's purse. I'll get them from her as soon as I get home.

Cop: Great. Have a great day and continue to enjoy being a middle-age white man in America.

That's one thing NJ does right; no more tags for license plates. Their scanners just scan your license plate automatically and can tell if you are paid up or not.

Well that $2 PK pick in the FBG contest isn't going to last 2 weeks. Last time I go with 2 PKs ...dammit

####ing FBGs. I went to put in my roster today, you know before the season started, and contest cutoff was yesterday.

Suck it, Rude.

Same here. For the second year in a row. I suck at deadlines

By the way, does anyone know if you really need to use a turn signal in a lane where there is no other option but to turn?

Only if you are actually going to turn

Only puzzies use turn signals

I'll be in Manhattan Monday through Wednesday. Haven't been to NYC since my band played CBgB's the summer of 98. Looking forward to it.

At this intersection, there is no cross traffic. I can only turn right, joining the flow of traffic. The lane is clearly marked as right turn only, so anyone behind me is also turning right. I can't see any way using a signal accomplishes anything in this situation, other than not giving a cop an excuse to pull me over.

I don't even think about using my signal when turning or changing lanes. Doesn't matter if it is obvious, like what you described, or not. I just do it automatically.

My wife makes fun of me over my insistence on using turn signals. I use them in our little closed in neighborhood and she teases me. Me? I don't want to give an officer ANY reason to pull me over.

Hello, exactly.

Last time I got pulled over was about 5 years ago. Somebody *coughwifecough* didn't put the new tags on the car like she was supposed to. Cop pulls me over.

Went pretty much like this:

Cop: Sir, the tags on your plate are expired. But I ran your registration and it comes back as "paid". Do you have the stickers?

Me: I know we got them. I'm guessing they're in my wife's purse. I'll get them from her as soon as I get home.

Cop: Great. Have a great day and continue to enjoy being a middle-age white man in America.

In St. Louis it works like this.

Cop: Sir, the tags on your plate are expired.

Everybody: I just renewed them a couple of months ago.

Cop: Somebody must have stolen your tags. It happens a lot. Sorry I have to write you a ticket.
